Cristiano Ronaldo recently unveiled the new national team kits for Portugal, marking a significant change as the team transitions from Nike to Puma as their official supplier. The launch event showcased both home and away kits for the men’s and women’s teams, highlighting a fresh design that pays homage to Portugal’s rich football heritage.
A New Era for Portugal Football
The unveiling of the new kits signifies a new chapter for the Portugal national football teams. After a long-standing partnership with Nike, which began in 1997, Puma has stepped in to provide fresh designs that reflect the passion and culture of Portuguese football.
Home Kit Details
The home kit is characterized by a brighter shade of red than traditionally used, complemented by deep green and off-white details. The Quinas emblem has been modernized and prominently displayed on the chest, with subtle decorative details inspired by the national coat of arms.
Away Kit Features
The away kit now has a more daring aesthetic, predominantly white, featuring a unique rippled dot graphic in red and green. And the women’s variation has a mint green base with a similar graphic pattern, ensuring both teams have distinct yet complementary designs.
Sustainability Initiatives
Puma has emphasized sustainability in the production of the new kits: The replica jerseys are crafted using the RE:FIBRE initiative, which incorporates at least 95% recycled textile waste. Both authentic and replica jerseys utilize PUMA’s dryCELL technology to keep players and fans comfortable during play.
Conclusion
The launch of the new Portugal national team kits by Puma not only marks a shift in supplier but also a celebration of the country’s footballing heritage. With innovative designs and a commitment to sustainability, these kits are set to inspire both players and fans alike as they embark on a new journey in international football.
